                     7.  Cf. Lewicki, T. Subdivisions de l’lbadiyya, Studia Islamica, Paris,
                   1958, IX, 71-82; E.I. 1 art. al-Nukkar, inter alia.
                     8.  This date of 3rd Dhu’l-Hijjah 272 as given by al-Saliml in the Tufifah
                   (ed. cit.) 196 is correct. The Kashrs date of 3rd Dhu’l-tfijjah 273 is an
                   error as an addition of the years of his Imamatc to the date of his election
                   will prove.
                    Thanks to the generous hospitality of H.E. the Minister of the National
                    Heritage, the present writer was also to spend some time examining the
                    new manuscript collection and would like to record his thanks both to His
                    Excellency and his staff for the facilities extended him as also to Dr. Rex
                    Smith for his patience in helping unravel some particularly thorny
                    passages in these manuscripts.
